Our friend Tru Pray sent me this last year...I am basically an ass and it took me this long to get around to posting it. I apologize for the delay to you, our faith readers, as well as Tru. Here's a quick recollection of the first time he saw Chokehold.

"I found this tape at my
parent’s house in the DC area. It was transferred from a 30 mm tape recorder by
my friend Mark Anthony.

A group of us traveled
to Philly to see 4 Walls Falling play at the University of Arts. I believe this
was their record release for "Food for Worms". The band that went on before them
was a band called Chokehold from Canada. This was the first time I saw
them. I had no idea that the crowd was going to go off for them like that.

This was just after their release on Conquer the World.

I think Deadguy, Dive and Autumn played. I swore
Turmoil played as well but I could be wrong. I can’t believe this happened 20 years ago."
